Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:'

1. In an automatic dish washing and drying machine, a cylindricalbody having a bottom, a horizontal circular `ange within said body spaced from the bottom of said body and slightly from the sides and attached upon the sides,- rollers rotatively mounted between said body and ilan'ge, a door over an opening in said body and slidably resting upon said rollers, and a dish basket on saidange for holding dishes. v

2. In an automatic dish washing and ,drying machine, a cylinder body having a bottom, a horizontal circular iiange within said body spaced from the bottom of the body and slightly from the sides and attached upon the sides, ,elements for supporting a door arranged between said body and flange, a door over an opening in said body and resting upon said elements, and a dish basket on said flange for holding dishes.

3.l In an automatic. 'dish washing and drying` machine, a cylindrical1body,a horizontal circular flange within saidbody and slightly spaced from the sides thereof, means connecting the iiange and body for supporting the flange, rollers mounted on said supporting means, a door over an opening in said body and resting on and operable upon said rollers, and a dish basket on said Aange for holding dishes.

' machine, a cylindrical body, a horizontal circular flange within saidbody and slightly spaced from the sides thereof, means connecting the flange and body for supporting the ange, rollers mounted on said supporting means, a door over an opening in said body and resting on and operable upon said rollers, and a dish basket on said ange for vholding dishes', said meansforsupporting the nange comprising pins attached on the body and on the ange.

.5. In an automatic dishlwashingl and drying machine,v a cylindrical body, a horizontal circu- -y lar flange within saidbody and slightly spaced from the sides thereof, means connecting the ange and body for supporting the ilange, rollers mounted on said supporting means, a door over an opening in said kbody and resting on and operable upon said rollers, and a dish basket on said ilange forvholding dishes, said circular ange having a horizontal top portion connect- Vingwith -a vertical side, and said supporting means being connected between the vertical side and the body.

`mounted on said supporting means, a door over an opening in said body and resting on and operable upon said rollers, and a dish basket on said flange for 'holding dishes, said means for supporting the ange comprising pins attached on the body and on the flange, said pins extending radiany of the circular aange.'

7. In an automatic dish washing and drying machine, a vertical cylindrical body, a horizontal cylindrical flange within said body and slightly spaced from the sidesthereof, `means connecting the flange and body for supporting the iiange, rollers mounted on said supporting means, a door withinsad body having a. semi-cylindrical peripheral portion over an opening in said body and connecting with a top face portion engaged in a bearing at the vertical center of the said body, the semi-cylindrical peripheral portion f said door resting and operable upon said rollers, and a. dish basket on said flange for holding dishes.

8. In an automatic machine, a vertical cylindrical body, a horizontal `cylindrical ange within said body and slightly dish washing and drying within said body having a semi-cylindrical pel riphral portion over an opening in said body and connecting with a top face portion engaged in a bearing at the vertical center of the said body, the semi-cylindrical peripheral portion of `sai`d door resting and operable uponl said rollers, and a. dishbasket on said iiange for holding dishes, the door being iixedly guided at the top on its vertical axis so that it may function in a circular path.

9. In an automatic dish washing and -drying machine, a vertical cylindrical body, a horizontal cylindrical flange, within said body and slightly spaced from 'the sides thereof, means connecting the flange and body vfdr supporting the flange, rollers mounted on said supporting means, a door within said body having a semicylindrical peripheral portion over an opening in said body and connecting with a top face portion engaged in a bearing at the vertical center of,

the said body, the semi-cylindrical peripheral portion of said door resting and operable-upon said rollers, and a dish holding dishes, said means for supporting the flange comprising `pins attached on the body and on the flange.
